OUR NEIGHBORHOOD CHURCH

Although France is now as secular a country as one could
wish to find, it was of course for well over a thousand years deeply Catholic.As a consequence, Paris is dotted with
churches, most of which, so far as I can tell, are now frequented more by tourists
and concert-goers than by the faithful.Every
little neighborhood, or quartier as
they say here, seems to have one.Our
neighborhood church is down at the end of our street.As I passed it this morning at 6 a.m. during
my walk, I paused to take a picture of it.Here it is.

Visitors to Paris know it by its formal name, The Cathedral of Nôtre Dame.

About Me

As I observed in one of my books, in politics I am an anarchist, in religion I am an atheist, and in economics I am a Marxist. I am also, rather more importantly, a husband, a father, a grandfather, and a violist.
